Hi,
I've been on lexapro for about 5 weeks now for GAD. Started out at 10 and I still had major problems with thoughts and anxiety, then went up to 15. That helped a little but I still had anxiety. I found myself getting depressed (which I am now) and the dr moved me up to 20. I take trazodone to sleep and that seems like the only time I am ok.
I can say that I am depressed now as well, while I was having the anxiety I used a lot of coping skills to help me out but now they don't even help. I am so exhausted and I just can't do it anymore
I have never had an appetite on the lexapro and well not much has changed. I still dont have any appetite.
How do you know if it's not working? I am having so much trouble with this, I wonder if I should go into the hospital? I can barely take care of myself. anyone help?
